Over Her Dead Body (DVD)

...to go in to see Over Her Dead Body with my two friends, I was slightly hesitant at first; did this seem like a film for me? I wasn't really too sure what it was about, but decided to go for it anyway! ===Plot Outline=== Animal Vet Henry's sister Chloe takes him to see a Psychic named Ashley after his wife, Kate, is crushed by an 'angel' ice sculpture on their wedding day. Henry does not believe in Psychic powers all that much, especially when their ...
...praise and nothing less to Over Her Dead Body. Although I was not too familiar with the plot before I went to see it, it still was nothing like what I had in mind. I expected it to be more of a chick-flick (something I cannot always watch), but instead it was more like a straight comedy! The story itself is not too unique; there have been a few similar films, the general idea of trying to break up a relationship. How the director has approached ...

...still trying desperately to get over the loss of his fiancé so his sister takes him to see psychic Ashley (played by Lake Bell). When Henry and Ashley appear to get closer and closer, Kate, who Is still roaming the earth, believes it is her duty to make sure that Ashley keeps as far away from her fiancé as possible. Ashley on the other hand, is determined not to let Henry slip through her fingers, so the women, one dead and one alive, battle it out. ...
...can safely put this in the chick lit category without any question, but isn't one of the better ones. This isn't truly awful and I admit to seeing a lot worse, but this doesn't stop it from being a total pile of rubbish. What could have been made in to more of an interesting story is wasted with silly little jokes that just don't go far enough to make it worth while. This film was a bad cross between "Ghost" (without the emotion or, in fact, the ...

Review of Over Her Dead Body (DVD)

Over Her Dead Body is a comedy film starring Eva Longoria Parker (from Desperate Housewives) as Kate and Paul Rudd (Phoebe's husband from Friends) as Henry her fiancé. The film starts on the day of Kate and Henrys wedding and Kate is fussing over the preparations, not happy with anything and becomes really annoyed because the giant ice sculpture of an angel she has commissioned has no wings. She demands the man takes it away but as he is reversing ...
...finds that she is now an angel (with no wings!) and must complete a mission to move on, however in Kate's usual fashion she is too busy complaining to listen to what she is supposed to be doing. Meanwhile Henry is struggling to come to terms with Kate's death so his sister Chloe takes him to see a Psychic called Ashley to try to get Henry to move on. Henry isn't really convinced that it will work and Ashley psychic powers are slightly lacking so ...

Review of Over Her Dead Body (DVD)

***Film Only Review*** Over her dead body is another romantic comedy that doesn't quite deliver I'm afraid. Its a simple story where in Kate (Eva Longoria Parker) is accidentally killed on her wedding day and thinks she is still around to save her fiance; Henry (Paul Judd) from getting involved with Ashley (Lake Bell) when really she is just stopping him moving on and being happy. There are a few key reasons why this film isn't quite as good as it ...
...Bell who plays the open minded psychic Ashley had the only performance that leaves any impression. Paul Judd who appears to be the same character in everything he does recently, is a little wooden and I found it really hard to get involved with his character and to attach any emotion to his situation. He should have been lovable and provoked sympathy, but I couldn't help feeling a little bored by him. Eva Longoria Parker is a very similar case. I ...

...him a while to get over it so his sister gives him the idea of going to visit a psychic as this might help him through it contacting his dead fiancée. However, Henry is a sceptic so he isn't really sure of this idea but after his sister pushing him he decided to give it a try. The psychic that he goes to see is a woman called Ashley (Lake Bell). She does this for a living and is always with her gay friend Dan (Jason Biggs) who is always giving her ...
...this because he was sad over his wife dying by a collapsing ice sculpture which brings no real tear to my eye. Eva Longoria should stick to Desperate Housewives as this was not good and her voice was so irritating, she just kept appearing and trying to be funny but it wasn't working at all. She seems ok in Desperate Housewives because she isn't a main focus all of the time and her character seems a lot like her but in other films she has been ok ...

I think Eva Longoria is great in Desperate Housewives so I rented this film and it was better than i expected it to be as with the title i was not expecting much out of the film, but i was plesantly suprised. It is a romantic comedy in which Kate played by Eva Longoria is killed on her wedding day to Henry played by Paul Rudd. Henry then is devestated he lost his Fiancee and agrees to try to contact Kate through a Psychic. Unfortunately Kate along ...
...her man. Especially when Henry and Ashley the Psychic fall in love with each other.Ashley is then being haunted by Kate's ghost, who tries everything in her power to break them up as no one can have her man. This film has so many funny moments in it and has a great ending. The story-line is really cheesy and also predictable, bt i think with a film like this you know how it is going to pan out, I thoroughly enjoyed this film and could watch it again. ...

Review of Over Her Dead Body (DVD)

This film is not for everyones tastes to be honest. i watched this film with my mum and found it so funny. I found it funny because in this romantic comedy a man falls in love with his psychic and his dead fiance keeps popping out of nowhere to scare the psychic. Absolutely none of it is scary. How she dies at the start is funny, as i couldn't imagine it, but most of the film is stuff i couldn't imagine. i can't honestly go out and say you must watch ...
